How to properly insert yourself into a conversation

Important for any social setting

Press play to listen to the episode below:

In a social setting, one of the most frustrating and difficult things is how to start a conversation when there’s a group of people. With a large group of people, everyone gets into natural circles. So if you are at a business or networking event by yourself and you need to start a conversation, what do you do?

Well that depends who you want to start a conversation with. In this episode, I share an amazing strategy and how to adapt it for small or large groups, as well as the reason you should never insert yourself into a conversation of only 2 people. So go ahead and apply the strategies from this episode to help you take your social affluence to another level!

What you will learn in this episode:

  • How to choose which group of strangers to approach first
  • Why it’s important not to interrupt someone actively speaking, or to insert yourself next to the person actively speaking
  • What to say when you do pull up next to someone in a large group
  • How to approach a small group of 3-4 people
  • Why you should never insert yourself into a conversation of only 2 people
  • The importance of smiling authentically
  • The value of asking questions
  • How to ‘be the moon to their earth’
  • Why you should forget about the norms of childhood and high school
  • A social experiment you can do using meetup.com

Remember: I promise you this episode will be entirely useless to you-IF you don't apply what we've discussed. So get to writing those events down, and start kindling your own creativity!
